1893.] Document No. 28. • 5
Goldsboro, N. C, July 5, 1892.
Mrs. Catherine Wolfenden, Neiobern, N. C.
Madam — By instructions from the State Board of Education. I hereby
notify you that I will commence the surveys of the lands of the State
Board of Education lying in Jones and Craven Counties on Hunter's
creek and Black swamp, and covering the swamps, etc. in that section.
The most of the land is covered by old grants to David Allison, and these
grants are the property of the Board. On July 12 or Vi I will begin
these surveys. Very respectfully,
W. G. LEWIS, Agent and Engineer.
Goldsboro, N. C, July 5, 1892.
Messrs. Watson & Daniels, Neiobern, N. C.
Dear Sirs—In accordance with instructions from the State Board of
Education, I hereby notify you that I will, on the 12th or 13th of July,
commence the surveys of the lands of the State Board of Education in
Craven and Jones Counties, on and in the vicinity of Hunter's creek
and Black swamp, and towards Catfish lake, which lands are covered
by old grants to David Allison, and by other good claims, and are the
property of the State Board of Education.
Very respectfully,
W. G. LEWIS, Agent and Engineer.
On the 12th of July I commenced these surveys.
Having learned that Mr. Wolfenden had been prospecting
on a tract of your land in Carteret County adjoining these
lands in Jones and Craven Counties, as I suspected, with a
view to make entries on it and obtain grants, as he had done
for Watson & Daniels and Mrs. Catherine Wolfenden on the
Jones and Craven County lands, I assumed the responsibility
of making a survey of that tract, as your title was good from
David Allison grant and Sheriff's deed. This survey added
very little to the cost of the surveys.
These tracts, commencing near the head of Newport river,
in Carteret County, extend towards the west and north of the
Craven County lakes, and the larger portion of them are on
the summit between Neuse river and White Oak river. This
swamp is skirted almost its entire length by bodies of pine,
